Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Trailer: A New Release Date

Talion's quest against Sauron in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor marks yet another game trying to avoid the flood of big name releases throughout the month of October.

We will get to be experiencing the in-depth Nemesis System of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor a little bit earlier than expected now that Warner Bros. Interactive has decided to move its North American release date. Changing Shadow of Mordor's launch date was likely done so that it can get a head start before October's big games, such as The Evil Within, WWE 2K15, Sunset Overdrive, Alien: Isolation, Assassin’s Creed Unity and Evolve. Battlefield Hardline was originally due for an October release as well, but it was pushed back to early 2015.

This latest trailer for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor reveals the identity of the strange and powerful Wraith that is bound to the resurrected ranger of Gondor, Talion. We get to see the Wraith's painful history and its connections to Sauron's Rings of Power.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will bring the fight to Sauron on Sept. 30 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The PC version of Shadow of Mordor will launch on Oct. 2.
